Manifest Deployment Fails

Question

Hi,
I had a working SSIS package deployment methodoligy (double clicking on the manifest file) and suddently it's not working.  I'm running SSIS as administrator and get the error below.
TITLE: Package Installation Wizard
You need to specify the full path to a SSIS deployment manifest file.
When I remote into the Server, I can get the Wizard to run and deploy the package; however, I think there is an encryption error as nothing is actually processes when I run the associated job.

Is it on a 64-bit box?
Are your *.SSISDeploymentManifest files on a share or mapped drive, or on a local drive? Microsoft support is investigating some troubles with UNC shares and mapped drives with the dtsinstall.exe deployment wizard currently.
Another point of confusion is that it works/fails depending on which bitness of the tool is run and the version (90 or 100) of the tool in side-by-side situations.
Compare running the different versions and bitness from the command line or the run dialogue in the start menu...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\dtsinstall.exe" "c:\folder\file.ssisdeploymentmanifest"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\dtsinstall.exe" "c:\folder\file.ssisdeploymentmanifest"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\dtsinstall.exe" "c:\folder\file.ssisdeploymentmanifest"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\dtsinstall.exe"  "c:\folder\file.ssisdeploymentmanifest"
Thanks, Jason
